The holidays always sneak up on us — one minute we’re talking fall prints and the next we’re scrambling to figure out gifts for the people who make our workdays brighter. And if you’re anything like me, you don’t just want gifts that check a box. You want things that feel thoughtful, useful, and honestly… a little fun. That’s why I put together this list of my go-to picks for pet pros. These are the things I genuinely love, use, and obsess over — whether I’m visiting salons, helping groomers, or just trying to survive the chaos of holiday season with style intact.
So grab a coffee, get cozy, and let’s dive into my top picks this year. I promise there’s something in here that’ll make you say, “Okay… that one’s going on my list immediately.”
1️⃣ Retro Stylist Wear — Cameron Smock in Blush Sienna
Of course, my #1 pick is always going to be my Retro gear. I practically live in it! The Cameron smock is a total must for me this year, especially in that dreamy Blush Sienna color I don’t have yet. It’s hair-resistant, water just falls right off, and it’s cute enough to wear anywhere, from salon visits to dinner out. And don’t even get me started on the new compression socks. I’m obsessed and absolutely need more pairs in my drawer!

2️⃣ Joyzze Raptor Clipper
My current clippers are basically from the dark ages, so the Joyzze Raptor is at the top of my upgrade list. I always say, 'don’t buy just for looks, but these are adorable and functional. Joyzze nailed it with the design, weight, and feel. If you’re ready for a clipper glow-up, this is it.

3️⃣ PawMat Anti-Fatigue Mat (Blue & Lavender)
I’m obsessed with PawMat. They’re not just cute; they make a huge difference for the dogs. The anti-fatigue support keeps pets comfortable, taking pressure off their legs and joints while grooming. My next pick? That gorgeous blue and lavender reversible mat!

4️⃣ Botaniqa Love Me Long Spray
This is marketed as a detangler, but honestly, it’s a dream scissoring spray too. It smells absolutely delicious and works like magic on coats. I’m obsessed with how silky it leaves the finish.

5️⃣ Jirpet Harmony Neck Dryer
If you’ve never tried a neck dryer, consider this your sign to treat yourself. I already have one, but I wish I could gift one to every groomer on my team. It saves your neck, shoulders, and hands while drying pets quickly and evenly. The tech behind it is incredible, the perfect combo of air and heat.

6️⃣ Chris Christensen 504 Comb
Every groomer needs this in their toolbox. The 504 Buttercomb is pure perfection. I can’t imagine grooming without it. It helps fluff, finish, and even handle undercoat. The difference it makes in coat quality is unreal.

7️⃣ Creative Collection Grinch Bibs
I’m obsessed with all things Grinch, and when I saw these, I squealed like a kid! 😂 These bibs are beyond adorable and would make the perfect festive gift for any groomer.

8️⃣ Retro Stylist Wear Bandanas
Okay, yes, I’m biased again, but our bandanas are truly next level. They’re durable, double-stitched, and ridiculously cute. Plus, the Bandana Subscription is a total lifesaver. No thinking, just adorable styles delivered monthly.

9️⃣ Urban Groomer Co.
Rachel’s designs are so fun and full of personality! I’ve been eyeing her charcoal chunky beanie for two years now! This might be the year I finally grab it (and maybe a few new tees too).
